Such is our Fathers' love

Jean's been doing very well after the operation, she's gained a bit of weight and prances around the house like a very happy dog. =)
She's excited even tho u've only left the house for an hour and greets you like she hasn't seen you in months! (so i get the same greeting everytime since i've landed) My dad knows her inside out, her habits and her "pretenses". Sometimes when we're all leaving the house and she has to be put behind the baby bars- she pretends to disobey. So my dad will point to the place she ought to go, but Jean will look at him with sad eyes or pretend to sniff something else. She's never liked to be home alone and my dad knows her avoidance tactics and becomes more firm in his voice. She either walks with her head hanging into the gallows, or flops on her bed outside (den we'll have to carry her in).

Doesn't our Heavenly Father know full well that we pretend to not know what we're supposed to do? But He still loves us with such a great love that we cannot even begin to fathom. When we don't obey just because we find it hard or we don't feel like it, He does not strike us with the iron rod- but gives us choices. The message is simple (as Tim Bergman put on Sunday) to Trust and obey- for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus... But to Trust and Obey.
